I've been given an arc through NetGalley in exchange of an honest review.
This was an emotional read, I shed a tear at the end. It felt very real and raw. Even though I am no way near being in that time of my life, I could feel the frustration, anger, sadness and disappointment as if they were my own emotions.
As for the general art style, I enjoyed it. The minimalistic choice with only a couple of colours and the watercolour aspect are original. It helps carry the tone of the story in a way.
Thank you Scribe UK for trusting my opinion!

I was given an ARC ebook copy free through Netgalley.
A beautifully illustrated, heart-wrenching graphic novel that explores a couple's journey through infertility and the IVF process. I loved the representation of how different the experiences of IVF can be for different couples, and the pressures from family due to infertility still being somewhat of a taboo, with even well-intentioned advice/comments often increasing the strain on those going through it. The artstyle is beautiful, I like the simple use of colour and the character style. I immediately connected with the main characters and could empathise with their struggle, while still being frustrated when they didn't communicate. I definitely reccomend this book!
